Review: Comptoir Libanais’ Vegan Feast
In celebration of the new year and Veganuary, Comptoir Libanais invited us to try their new Vegan three course set menu costing £12.95. The Exeter restaurant itself has an incredibly warm atmosphere and the eclectic decor and bright colours are extremely aesthetically pleasing. Throughout the night, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making for […]
Tea on the Green Review
Nestled between Ask Italian and St Martin’s Church in central Exeter, Tea on the Green is a local culinary classic. In the summer months, you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea sat outside in the sunshine admiring Exeter’s impressive Cathedral or, if it’s slightly chillier, there is plenty of space inside in the cosy two-floored […]

Restaurant Review – Rabbit
“You’ve never tried fakon before?!” The woman behind the counter is incredulous. I’ve never felt so insecure in my demi-veganism. Luckily, I’ve just ordered something that assures me it’s “probably the best breakfast muffin you’ll eat (today).” A pile-up of burger patty, tofu “egg,” fakon, tomato, fake cheese and red sauce in a soft white […]
Turtle Bay Review + Win a Meal for 4!
Turtle Bay was bustling. Business seemed to be doing well just after opening, when myself and Online Lifestyle Editor Lucy Ronan arrived for our press evening. It’s a students’ dream when you can order absolutely anything off the menu, entirely for free. We overestimated our stomach capacities when we panic ordered 4 cocktails, 2 mains, […]

Whether it’s a classic game of Monopoly, student favourite Cards Against Humanity or a new indy game such as Tsuro of the Seas, you’ve got your pick of the board game bunch.

Restaurant Review: Las Iguanas
The gently spinning fans, light and airy ambience and sweetly spicy aroma of Las Iguanas only adds to the authenticity of this Latin American restaurant chain. Unlike most of its competitors, Las Iguanas has much more than the standard offer of burritos and fajitas to tempt the palate. The menu is rich in flavour and […]
Review: Samuel Jones
Situated in a prime location on Exeter’s quayside, Samuel Jones is a ale and smoke house built in an old warehouse. The inside decor is sophisticated, but still maintains that warm and comfortable pub feel. There’s a range of seating from long benches, small candlelit tables and leather sofas by the fireplace. Outside there’s a […]
